Publisher's Description

The fall quarter of BLY explores the sovereign nature of God as seen through the eyes of the men who wrote the books of Isaiah, Hebrews, and Revelation. Isaiah helps us visualize God as the one who rules the whole universe. In Hebrews, we see how God comes to lead humankind in the person of Jesus. Finally, John helps us see God as the beginning and end of all things.
